Notes From the Office: January 29th, 2018

St. John Catholic School Notes From the Office: Monday, January 29th, 2018         Weekly Updates         January 2018         Greetings, It was a busy weekend for me with bingo, going to the 7th/8th grade boys’ basketball game, and Catholic Schools Week kick-off Mass /open house. I was unable to attend the Knights of Columbus chili cook off and free throw contest – two of my favorite events. This was a great reminder that we have a wonderful and vibrant church and school community. It makes me smile to think of all the ministries going on that support and spread God’s love to all our children and adults. Thank you to our parents and everyone in the parish for their support of our school. The school is a great mission of our parish and is a great way to spread God’s word. Please continue to pray for our students, parents, all parishioners, and priests. God bless and take care, Dan Mardell         Here's What's New!!         Catholic Schools week has begun!  Click here to download a copy of all the fun events happening during the week.  We would like everyone to participate in the school wide service project to support foster children in Scott County.         Trivia Night returns!!   Thanks to our sponsor WALTERS TRUCK AND TRAILER!!!!
